Hi!
As the title states, I want to install an SSD into a desktop for editing purposes (and file storage for those photos and videos, plus the software), but I don't know how to. Do I have to install Windows on the SSD so the programs will work, or does that matter? All help will be appreciated, so thank you!
Also, as long as the speed and size of the ram are the same, can I use two different brands of RAM? I want to expand from 8 gigs to 16 gigs, so I need to know if I need to buy 16 gigs of DDR3 (the PC I'm using is around 7 years old), or buy 8 gigs to add to the other 8 gigs.
